I got an offer from Meta yesterday. Seems like the initial numbers the recruiter gave me were a bit lower than what I normally see on Blind. Also the recruiter did not mention anything about a sign on bonus, when I asked he said he’d consider one if I was for example walking away from a bonus from my current job and wanted to be compensated for that. I told him that was in fact the case, and he said he’d get back to me next week about the sign on bonus. The rest of the numbers are below. What do you think of this offer? Can I get some suggestions on how to negotiate these numbers?
This is a no brainer
They match 50% of all 401k contributions too
now meta matches $1 for $1 until the cap!
That’s pretty cool actually. Any kind of tenure requirement to receive the match?
Almost 2x tc bump and still asking for more money in the current climate. Greed is a hack of a drug.
Sorry but you’re asking OP to have a loser mentality. Don’t leave money on the table for big corp. They’ll gladly lay off OP any time.
Op's getting ~2x TC bump and recruiter is also going to try for a sign up bonus. On the other hand, thousands of emps were let go these past couple weeks from top tech firms. It's called reading the room. Op is just being greedy at this point by looking for ways to ask for even more money (without any competing offer). 'leaving money on the table...' give me a break. But sure, hype up Op to ask for more and lose this offer.
You can ask what ever you want ! But this offer is good.
Thanks🙌
Good starting point, base seems low compared to recent posts on Blind. Lotta $175k-$180k offers with $25k-$50k sign ons.
YOE?

OP this is great and I am happy for you. Almost doubled your existing total compensation and got an offer before all the laid off Google employees started interviewing.
Thanks! :)
How long was team matching?
I passed the on-site before the Christmas break, there was a 2 week break due to the holidays. The actual team matching process took about 2 weeks after that
Thank you and congrats! Waiting for a team now
Congrats on the offer, remember it’s not 2021 anymore so Meta doesn’t need to pass out comp and bonuses like candy like they used to
Hey when did you give your onsite and when did you hear back from the recruiter that you have cleared onsites? Also this is E4 SWE right?
I gave my on site before Christmas, recruiter called with the decision 3 days later. And yeah it’s for E4 SWE
Awesome, dmed you. Or for everyone, when did you exactly give your onsite if you can share that?
